If you are a student with a disability that is either graduating soon or a recent alumni AND you would like to work for a federal contractor or the federal government, the WRP program is a solid path toward your career goals. The program is for both undergraduate and graduate degree-seekers.   As we posted earlier with The Career Center, the process opens in late summer and closes this year on October 4.  Chances are, if you have received academic accommodations on the student side of Disability Access and Resources, you may be able to complete the Schedule A process.

If you missed the webinar, review the WRP USAJOBS website and join us for this last push to get your application in by Sunday:
